redirect old BEP pages to their relevant page in the mkdocs.yml #403

why ?

when the new site will replace the old one some URL will die ☠️. So better put some redirect in place.

TODO

[x] delete the _bep-collection folder in the bfm branch: https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-website/tree/bfm/_bep_collection
[x] update the mkdocs in the main branch with redirects for each old page to point to where the BEP lives

see redirects section here: https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-website/blob/2ce099db576d8edd41f6730bedf87b8b635a6a07/mkdocs.yml#L22

an example below

  - redirects:
      redirect_maps:
        "bep004": "https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kyw9mGgacNqeMbp4xZet3RnDhcMmf4_BmRgKaOkO2Sc/"

I do not think we will keep those redirect forever but at least it will prevent some confusion after we roll out the new website.

another option that may add more friction to the users: redirect all old BEP pages to a page that says: this page has been moved: to find the new link check our BEP table (insert link here)
